I am looking for a nice place to stay in February for about 5 days. Two couples. We want to be walking distance from town in a nice place on the beach which is reasonable in price. We stayed before at Exotic Caye Beach Resort and liked it, but thought we might try something different. I remember at one time there were a lot of folks recommending Banana Beach resort. Is this still a good place to stay? Any other recommendations?

Yes, Banana Beach is still great! Also consider Blue Tang Inn, The Palms, Banyan Bay (all 2 & 3 bedroom units)& Xanadu. BB & BB ;-) are a bit further from town than EC or the others. Still walking distance but about 1 1/2 miles up the beach.

Casa Escalante is a great place just before Victoria House (right next door).Big beach area,they are locals who have 2 condos attatched to their house.They are listed under lodging at top of this page.Lots of room in condos more than any hotel you will find.Banana Beach is good also,we stayed there in "05".Here is link to pics from Jan. "07" at Casa Escalante.Also the Escalante's are some of the worlds best people. Belize pics

love casa escalante. and they have the softest sand on the island. PM me if you want to know more. i stay there often. great swinging chair on the roof. outstanding view up there. really roomy. cool bar, full kitchens, washer and dryer for goodness sakes!!!
